Snaps show innocent summer break

Dressed for a happy holiday, Jessica Chapman enjoys a family break in Menorca the week before she vanished.

These pictures are among the last the family took of their daughter, now missing for almost six days. Det Supt Dave Hankins today said: "Please don't let these be the last pictures the family have."

Our front page picture shows her on a bench outside the family apartment looking the picture of calm. In the shot above she is enjoying a meal with her sister Alison, 14, sitting to her right.

On the left, Jessica and Alison share a sisterly embrace, while to the right they sit with her cousins Kirsty and Connor Drummond, aged 14 and 10, visiting the island's caves.

Jessica told friends when she returned that she had met many people and that it was "one of the best holidays I've ever had".

Det Supt Hankins said: "These photographs were taken by her parents and reflect a happy time for the family. We are hoping they will appeal to her abductor's conscience to come forward. We believe she is alive and being held captive."
